Chico's Travelers collection. I travel a lot for work and for the American Society for Quality. I need something affordable that doesn't wrinkle. An added bonus is that their clothes actually fit!

Some of the items I have gotten the most comments on came from Goodwill believe it or not.
I have a wonderful gray wool skirt and light suede skirt that is fantastic with a pair of boots or ballerina flats.

Cole Haan Nike Air pumps are the best dress shoes. I won't buy anything else. So comfortable and very cute!

My Favorite fashion items are:
1. A vintage necklace I found at a junk shop for just a quarter & get more compliments on it than my diamond pendant.
2. My brown leather riding boots because they are a luxury I will have for a long time because they are soooo classic.
3. My camel hair car coat. The color matches almost everything & you can't go wrong with sticking to the classics!!!
4. My green ballerina flats from J.Crew. They look so cute at work with wide leg dress pants & a little bit of the green popping out underneath or look great with a pair of jeans.
5. My Longchamp Le Pliage bags. I have 2 because they carry everything, come in a variety of colors & sizes (you can create a custom one on their website) & are chic and comfy all at the same time. I absolutely love them!!!

Jockey's No Panty Line Promiseā„¢ Modal Long John is amazing. Yes, it's warm and cozy under your clothes in winter, but it's also the most comfortable legging ever, with its soft Modal fabric and lack of waistband and cuffs. It's also stylish enough to wear under tunics and dresses, which is good news since I'm now looking for excuses just to wear it.

My favorite fashion secret gem for us full-figured girls is oldnavy.com. Their prices are great for women on a budget and they can also help put together entire outfits and wardrobes that are very flattering.

I found the perfect lambskin Nine West black jacket and it has turned into the wear-with-everything topper! It dresses up jeans, looks fab with a crisp white shirt and adds instant panache to anything I pair it with.

My favorite fashion item would be found at C.J. Baks. It is the Christopher & Banks for ladies sized 14 and up. For women 'of a certain age' let's say (past 29), they have everything from work to weekend, and in colors of the rainbow that you might not be able to find in more trendy stores. C.J s customer service is the best, there is room to move around in the store--no cramped and sloppily overstuffed racks, and they don't have annoying muzak blaring in your ears. The sales are really sales, too. C.Js is classic, stylish, reasonably priced
and off the beatten path.

My favorite fashion items are:
1. Hanky Panky thongs... no bulge--ever
2. J. Crew sweaters... comfy, no fail, great price-point, and colorful every season
3. Brown suede ballerina flats... I can, and do, wear them with everything
4. High waist jeans from Anthropologie... not too grandma, not too tween-- best trend to make it back
5. Navy herringbone wide leg trousers... chic and flattering
6. Orange, knee length, alpaca toggle coat... It is reversible (two different warm oranges)...I bought it in Peru and never looked back.

I love my knee high Cole Haan stretch leather boots. They make me feel taller and more confident.

Any shoe made by Bass. They are so unbelievably durable and comfortable, it's insane. I didn't know heels could be comfortable!!
